Matthew N (ID: 000000de5fc95db5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 This is one of the best extensions for transferring download tasks and files to your DiskStation but recently had to switch extensions due to 2fa. It has always had a couple issues that are frustrating. The first is the connection problems with non https that prevents proper login. Its a simple work around, but can be frustrating for someone who limits their tracking/history/cookies and is required to repeat the https login workaround frequently. The other big issue is a lack of 2fa compatibility. If it is enabled, you cant use this extension. Once those 2 things are addressed, I will love back and update to 5 stars! If neither of those issues affect you, then this extension is great.
